The article summarizes a Rotary Club of Madras project to make the village of Amarampedu in Gummidipoondi open defecation free. The project used a community-led approach to change attitudes towards sanitation and encourage villagers to construct toilets. It was very successful, with all 109 households now having toilets. The Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad is studying the project as a case study. A former Rotary International president praised the efforts and called for expanding the model.

The Curse of Open
Defecation Over 600
million people in India
defecate in the open.
The result is a host of
diseases and problems,
including diarrhea,
stunting of children’s
growth, high infant
mortality and assaults
on women who go out to
defecate after dark.
Yet if toilets are
constructed without
bringing about the
required attitudinal
change to sanitation,
they remain largely
unused or maintained
in a filthy manner.
Amarampedu Project
The Rotary Club of
Madras embarked
on an ambitious
pilot project to create
an open defecation
free community in
Amarampedu village in
Gummidipoondi.
The project uses
a variant of the
Community Led Total
Sanitation (CLTS)
method which does
not rely on education
but instead relies on
“triggers” such as
disgust and shame to
make communities
change their behaviour.
Toilet construction
thereafter is with
the full participation
of the community.
P r o f e s s i o n a l
consultants were hired
to bring about the
attitudinal change.
Success
The Project was
s p e c t a c u l a r l y
successful. All 109
households in the
village now have toilets,
up from just one when
the project started and
the village is near open
defecation free.
The Indian Institute
of Management,
Ahmedabad is doing a
case study on it. Past
President of Rotary
International and
Trustee of the Rotary
Foundation, Kalyan
Banerjee made a special
visit to Amarampedu on
June 24. He praised the
efforts of SN Srikanth,
President of the Rotary
Club of Madras and his
team and has called for
extending the model to
the whole districts and
then to the whole of
India.
In the recently held
Rotary meeting, Mr.
Banerjee talked about the
International Acclamation
of Rotary club of Madras’
initiatives, “Flame for
Polio Eradication” and
“Open Defacation Free”
at the World Rotary
Convention held at Sao
Paulo, Brazil.
